As Romy and Iriom?s lives continue to parallel across the centuries, they both find themselves in love with powerful men, pregnant, far from home, and in danger. But while Iriom?s fate is in the past and sealed, Romy?s has not yet been decided, nor has the fate of the mushroom, which she learns has the power to either destroy life or preserve it. Will Romy be able to protect the powerful amakuna secret, as generations of medicine women have done before her? Or will she fall victim to betrayal as Iriom? did, and be forced to destroy the sacred mushroom before it can destroy the planet?
